Islamabad : On December 6, 1992, a mob of kar sevaks demolished the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. A large number of people razed the entire structure to the ground within a few hours. This was followed by communal riots in the country in which a large number of people were killed. Tuesday marked 30 years of that incident. Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto made a tweet with the intention of taking ‘religious advantage’ of this date. He wrote, ‘Islamic heritage should be protected.’ While promoting religious discrimination, Bhutto forgot about the status of Hindu temples and Sikh gurudwaras in his own country. Pakistani journalists stopped speaking of Bhutto on Twitter itself.
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari wrote in his tweet, ’30 years ago a Hindu mob demolished the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. This should not be ignored. Islamic heritage should be protected. The plight of Hindu and Sikh minorities and their religious places in Pakistan is not hidden from anyone. Every day mobs of fundamentalists attack temples and vandalize idols. On Bhutto’s tweet, two women journalists from Pakistan showed him the mirror and stopped speaking.
‘When will you protect the temples?’
Pakistani journalist Veengas wrote in his tweet, ‘If we speak, people say that she is speaking. But sometimes we can’t tolerate things that have nothing to do with reality. Bhutto Sahab, your tweet may please Urdu media and fundamentalists, but it is not true. Well, when is your government going to protect the temples?’

‘First read history, then speak’
At the same time, another journalist Pirah Mangi said, ‘You should read ancient Indian history before mentioning any historical event. There is a whole series of horrific incidents, how Muslim rulers destroyed thousands of ancient buildings of temples in the name of religion. Historical temples are still being destroyed in Sindh. He wrote, ‘Would you call the demolition of ancient Hindu temples ‘Hinduphobia’? Please avoid Islamizing things.
